From his seclusion he wrote Haroun and the Sea of Stories (1990), a novelistic allegory against censorship; East, West (1995), a book of short stories; and The Moor's Last Sigh (1995), a novel that examines India's recent history through the life of a Jewish-Christian family. Although Iranian president Khatami committed to end government support for the fatwa in 1998, other members of the Iranian government and Shiite clergy have since insisted it remains in force and have offered a bounty for Rushdie's murder.

The Ground beneath Her Feet (1999), which mingles myth and reality in a surreal world of rock music celebrity, was followed by Fury (2001), Shalimar the Clown (2005), and The Enchantress of Florence (2008), a romantic fantasy of 16th-century East and West, chiefly tales of Mughal India and Renaissance Italy. Luka and the Fire of Life (2010), a magical 21st-century myth, is a sequel to Haroun. The Golden House (2017), which combines realism and fantasy, follows a wealthy Indian family who live in Manhattan during the Obama years and a vulgarian supervillain who runs for the presidency. Rushdie has written numerous essays, many of which are in Step across This Line: Collected Nonfiction 1992–2002 (2002). He was knighted in 2008, provoking condemnation from some Muslims.
